About Me As a mental health clinician, my passion lies in helping others become the best versions of themselves. I practice in Texas as an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (License Number 205804). I earned my bachelor’s in psychology and master’s in marriage and family therapy from Abilene Christian University. I am pursuing my doctorate in marriage and family therapy at National University. Under the supervision of Dr. Lisa Powell, LMFT-S, LPC-S, LCDC-I, I work with a diverse range of clients, from children to geriatrics, each with unique histories, personalities, and backgrounds. My particular passion is working with adults who struggle with sexual trauma, domestic violence, and substance use, in addition to depression and anxiety. I am a certified Crisis Advocate with the Regional Victims Crisis Center, which is a local non-profit 501c3 organization that serves victims of sexual assault and other violent crimes in Abilene and the surrounding area. I also hold certifications in Solution Based Casework, Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) for Health and Behavioral Health Professionals, Question, Persuade, and Refer (QPR) for Suicide Prevention, and CPR. I am also a member of Alpha-Chi, one of the world's largest and most prestigious college honor societies, which recognizes graduate students ranked academically in the top 10% and encourages a spirit of service, leadership, and character.

My Vision Empowering individuals, couples, and families to tap into their inner strength and embark on a journey towards becoming the best versions of themselves. My initiative is designed with the hope and inspiration that it will significantly contribute to your personal growth. My Mission My mission is to revolutionize mental health advocacy by breaking the chains of stigmas. I aim to create a unique space where open discussions about issues such as suicidal thoughts, depression, anxiety, and substance use are accepted and encouraged in an environment where growth and resilience are not just words but actively cultivated and are crucial to the journey of healing. The heart of my mission is creating a safe, confidential, and nurturing therapeutic space. This space inspires individuals, couples, and families to reflect on their past, present, and future, supporting healthy changes and habits, where negative thoughts, harmful behavior, and unhealthy relationships can be explored and transformed, promoting authentic happiness and satisfaction with life. My role is to partner with you on your healing journey. I provide authenticity, attention, and empathy by actively listening, meeting you where you are, providing the tools needed, and remembering that only you can take steps toward growth and healing. You are in control, and I'm here to support you every step of the way.
